Starting the Hillsides
I
built some framework to support the hillside on the outside of the main straight.
I setup these boxes to simulate the height of the framework and the sheathing strips are the distance the track is from the framework. I've crumpled up newspaper and taped it in place
I precut some pieces of Plaster Cloth
Next step is to wet them and lay them on top of the newspaper, bumpy side up. Then wet my fingers and smooth the bumps outs(the bumps are excess plaster). I partially dried it with the hairdryer I use for my airbrushing. It'll be finished drying by morning and ready for me to color it and put the finishing touches on it tomorrow afternoon/evening. There are a couple parts that are pretty vertical so I'm thinking I'm going to make them rock faces by using some "Hydrocal" to put some of my cast rocks there.
Here's the 1st piece set in for a temporary fitting.
